Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 608

Chapter 608: Chapter 608 – Can we get a room?

Jasmine desperately wanted a way to apologize to Corvine. His coldness towards her had become a constant ache in her chest, a wound that refused to heal no matter how well she hid it from the world.

She had replayed every moment of their last encounter a thousand times, imagining different words, different actions, different outcomes.

After showering the kids and planning on having a mud bath, she didn’t have the bravery to ask Voren to watch the children for her so she could indulge. She was their nanny, not their mother, and could not overstepped boundaries.

However, luck shone on her when Voren decided to put the kids to sleep in the guest room after they began yawning profusely, their small bodies succumbing to exhaustion. The children had drifted off quickly, their faces peaceful and innocent.

Jasmine took the opportunity to have the mud bath, but as she walked through the corridors, she saw that Liah was having a conversation with her roommate, Estelle. Their voices drifted through the hallway, soft and private.

It was difficult to find Corvine alone ever since they stepped into Paris. He had been constantly surrounded by Liah, Voren, and the children. This was her chance to smoothen things between them, to explain herself, to make him understand that she hadn’t meant to hurt him.

Corvine was admiring the paintings on the wall when the familiar voice sounded behind him. His shoulders tensed almost imperceptibly, a barely visible flinch that Jasmine caught despite herself.

"Corvine, can we talk?"

The whole thing reminded him so much of what happened in Voren’s mansion, except that this time, they were in a Paris living room and were clothed, not naked in the shower.

But the memory was still there, burned into his mind like a scar that refused to fade. He hadn’t been able to get that moment out of his head. His teeth gritted together with the effort of keeping his composure.

"Jasmine, we have nothing to talk about if it’s not about Espe and Bryan, okay?" His voice was flat, dismissive, every word a deliberate reminder of her place in his life. Indirectly, he was reminding Jasmine that their relationship only centered around the kids because she was their nanny. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Jasmine’s heart ached, a sharp pain that radiated through her entire chest. She knew it was her fault. She had crossed a line that could never be uncrossed, had made a mistake that would haunt her forever.

Desperation drove her to do the unthinkable. Her hand reached out, fingers trembling, intending to touch his arm, to bridge the impossible distance between them.

She knew she would never have Corvine’s love, knew that the walls around his heart were impenetrable, but it was still so hard to get over it, so hard to accept.

Then Liah. Jasmine hadn’t liked her at first, not at all. The princess had captured Corvine’s heart so quickly, so effortlessly, and Jasmine had felt the sting of jealousy like a physical wound.

But after the time spent with Liah through the runway show and all the chaos that had followed, Jasmine understood why not just Seraphine and Corvine but even Voren’s heart had begun to warm towards the princess.

One moment, Liah could walk with her head high like some untouchable goddess, her bearing regal and commanding. But another moment, she was bent over backwards, doing whatever would make them happy without help from her maids. She cooked for them, laughed with them, treated them like family instead of friends.
